jreyez: Tecno H1 is out

k, what are the specs?

ibietela2: Lol i was about to ask him same thing..... Apart from browsing or accessing the internet what do you use 3G for?? That chipset is kinda new too with Mali400 gpu. I for buy this phone but am tired of 3.5 screen it's not good for my career

yeah the chipset is cool, released in may 2013 it's dual core clocked at 1.2ghz, hope we won't be disappointed again.

Did any anyone bought this phone?

The chipset mtk6572 on this phone may not be that bad as we think see this: http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/05/03/mediatek-announces-mtk6572-dual-core-cortex-a7-soc-for-entry-level-smartphones/

ifemiide: the mobile network has a 3.75g/3g/2g for other activities on the phone, BUT for data connection it does not use 3g. Thats why they put it under DATA connection that there is no 3g. HAVE I CLEARed YOUR DOUBT.

I'm sure it's a typing error, they also wrote no games which we all know is ridiculous considering it's an android. i have never seen a 3g enabled phone that can not connect with the 3g as you are suggesting. lets wait untill the phone is available.

Ostatomilola: I reserve ma comment cuz . we ar nt yet sure if i has 3g or nt

I wonder why pple are saying it has no 3g when it's boldly written on the specs sheet 3.75G/3G/2G.

I prefer this than L3 cos of the dual core and 5mp camera.

In my opinion L3 is not better than this one, my reason they have the same specs. the M3 comes with dual core and 5mp camera which the L3 lacks though it has a better battery than this M3.

Frankenstein: Theives! Next month, they will replace phantom A+ with A++ for 40,000 and people will sell their A+ for 30k to get it.

soon they will released a 50k phone and some gullible youths would buy it cos they believe tecno is doing us some kind of favour.

preetyjoy: so what is your point? perhaps they should stop buying tecno phones and donate the money to all of you derailing the thread and attacking a brand that people still buy everyday despite your noise.
btw, what phone are you using?

sharaaaf and listen, i have never hate tecno or their products infact i'm typing this with tecno N3(the best tecno phone so far) but that does'nt mean i should follow them blindly and accept whatever trash they chunk out as phones. wait and see what will happen when better chinease phone manufacturers set their foot in africa, there are already phones like Gionee e3, D1 and thl w100 that offer more and cost less than f7.

silvernice: Pls. tell them o. I would scarcely imagine if Samsung would sell the phantom a1 for such price when the differences in s3 and phantom would never convince a insane man to pay twice the price of phantom. for s3.
Now to address the noise of ota updates. how many persons can spot the differences in the new releases. Or are you in the software's engine?

another gullible tecno fan boy.

[quote author=Blewusi]This is what I said some time ago and Tecno fans descended on me. They claim Tecno is CHEAPER and Samsung is MILKING them dry. In January this year, Tecno released N7. People complained of LOW RAM. Then they came out with PHANTOM A. Once again, some people complained of the battery. Instead of Tecno asking their customers to bring their phones to the service centre to UPDATE them MANUALLY (since they cannot do that via OTA), they chose to release a new phone: PHANTOM A+. Add the price of Phantom A and Phantom A+, is it not more than the price of Samsung mid range phones like Galaxy Grand Duos? Phantom A + Phantom A+ =70K more than the current price of S3.

Tecno sef! i thought it was just 3 months ago that f7 was released into the market, instead of updating the software and fixing the bugs associated with phantom A, they now decided to bring on phantom A+ meaning if you want a better phone you must get rid of yours and buy the A+. this is unacceptable, tecno should stop using nigerians as tools for their silly expirenment.

In my opinion the f7 is a very good device(though there are better chinease brands out there) in that price range. so pls guys lets stop this argument cos it's fruitless, and to all f7 users you guys started this by saying your f7 is as good as S3 and better than grand duos by "a wide margin" you guys should stop sayin this nonsense and enjoy what your phone can offer.

diesean: dude I know what am saying..I didn't say it lag...am talking about the field.....don't care weda Na old GPU.....it played all the games have installed on it so far.....for its price its awesome...Havant seen FIFA on s4 but on all oda powerev device have seen...its d same

I used to play fifa12 on HTC mytouch 4g a 2010 phone and believe me no lagging at all, the pitch is crystal clear. the phone has adreno 205 gpu though, poor battery life forced me to sell it last month.

Coolstan: who said the f7 can't handle fifa 12? That's an outdated game tho but you clearly stated that you don't own the device so i wont judge. A device that handles Nova 3 and MC4 without lags can clearly handle an old game like fifa 12. Maybe i'll install the game on my F7 and upload Screenshots laterand in reply to your question yes i would pick the F7 if both were offered to me at the same price

you are entitled to your own opinion, but you and i know that 90 out of 100 tecno fans would pick galaxy grand over f7 if the price is the same, the remaining 10 are pple like you who will never accept the truth even when the truth shall set you free. i made a head to head comparison of the two phones and asked how and where did the f7 beat the galaxy grand, no any reasonable answer was given except ofcourse PRICE, yes price is the only reason why we all are buying tecno phones.

[quote author=deejay_harry1]via hd resolution and price...

they are basically d same tin but just coz its a samsung one should pay half a thousand to acquire dis bullshit??[/quote]No they are not the same galaxy grand beat f7 in many areas just read the specs again carefully.

From the above specs, the first one is tecno f7 while the second one is galaxy grand so i would like to know how did the f7 beat galaxy grand duos by a "wide marging" as someone claimed.

Coolstan: its not worth it right? Yet its people like you that will rush and buy Samsung galaxy grand for 54k which f7 is better than by a wide margin and claim its a better device

pleasssssss in what way do you think f7 is better than galaxy grand? is it the display, size, internal storage, cpu, gpu, camera or what a phone that can not handle fifa 12 a phone that was beating on benchmark scores by another tecno Q1 of lesser specs. pls go and do a little reseach on galaxy grand before comparing it with f7. okay if grand duos is offered to you at the same price with f7, would really pick f7 over grand duos?. note i'm also a tecno fan still enjoying my n3.

Donpuffy: MTN put freebies of 6months free browsing on d L3, they said to activate, send Tecno to 131. When i sent dis msg, d response was 'pls purchase a tecno phone n try again'.

Inshort guys, how do i activate d 6months free browsing? Thanks

relax my friend even if you activate it successfully, it's just some useless 2mb daily for six months.

biomedixexcel: I think latest chipset will attract more money and the phone will not be called budget phone again

exactly, that is what many pple do not understand, and that's why the likes of samsung,LG,sony and HTC are expensive, but for now let's enjoy what Tecno is offering at a cheapest price possible.

runzlord: is that why u need an andriod? Facebook twitter inastagram and sybla tv? Why dont u buy a small nokia! And use?? I do all that on my pc too! Yh all andriod apps!

can you run instagram and sybla tv on a "small Nokia phone" as you call it? smh!

[quote author=runzlord]is that why

Seyilome: Pls house is this GPU a better one? power VR SGX 531 ? That comes with L3. Cos N3 comes with andreno 200 and it handles mostly games. And f7 also comes with this power VR 531 which f7 couldnt handle FIFA 12. So what do u think guys.

too bad! lower than the SGX540 that samsung had to offer in 2010. anyway i'm not complaining, the phone is just 13k so i am definately going for it as long as it has a decent camera and can handle my twitter,facebook, youtube, instagram and sybla tv i'm not a game freek.

zeanslim: wow i saw dis sleek pone in mrk jux for 14'k
buh am wonderin if its dualcore ?

exactly what i want to know dual core or single core?

Jazzgreen: my own started dis nonsense dis mornin. i need solution

just click on the market and follow it to play store, it will show you "app not found" return back and restart your game. you don't need a lucky patcher unless your phone is rooted.

xyjoe: is the phone dual sim

did tecno ever produce a single sim phone?

yetunsbay: ok btw Asha 308 and L3 whc is da bomb?Advice pls

see question, by the way what is asha?

damola311: Abeg which one person fit go for btw D5 and L3 considering running of game smoothly, streaming and browsing in general + ba3..... Wanna join android family

go for L3.

Michky: You dont get it, do you? This is not necessarily about making a low-end phone that'll win the hearts of the ever growing technonation. This is about stopping the increasing odacity to compare the cheap techno series with expensive samsung bigboy phones. In other words, samsung is trying to stop this embarassing comparism of their 100k phones with cheap 15k phones. And so far so good, their strategy seems to be working as planned.

lols!
